Arms companies producing weapons and military technology used by the Israeli military in its genocide in Gaza, and military assaults across the West Bank, are exhibiting at the International Armoured Vehicles conference in Farnborough.

Arms fairs like IAV are crucial to facilitating the smooth running of the deadly UK-Israel arms trade.

A protest in solidarity with Palestinians has been called outside the venue for the arms fair in Farnborough

About us

What on Earth is Unite Community?

Unite Community is the union for the unwaged.

It brings together the unemployed, retired people, disabled, carers and students and provides organization and resources to enable us to campaign together on issues that matter to us.

Unite Community is a sector of Unite The Union, so we have the backing of Britain & Irelands largest Trade Union, with over a million members.

The Portsmouth & District branch covers the whole PO postcode area, which includes Fareham, Gosport, Portsmouth, Havant, Chichester, Bognor Regis, and the Isle of Wight.

What kind of things do you get up to?

We regularly get involved with campaigning on matters such as:

End sewage discharges into our rivers and seas
End fuel poverty - restore the winter fuel allowance- re-nationalize energy
Oppose racism and fascism - we supported the recent Stand Up To Racism unity rallies in Portsmouth
We run minibuses to London to enable members to attend national demonstrations on issues they care about, such as ending the genocide in Palestine or opposing cuts to welfare for disabled people

This list is not comprehensive. The beauty of Unite Community is that if you have the energy to drive a campaign and you gain our backing, we will launch the campaign with the full support of branch members and resources.
